Can you please confirm that this is a powderpost beetle? It measures 5 mm in 
length. Several were found dead beneath a woven basket that now has many exit 
holes, I'm embarrassed to admit. Thank you!

If memory serves me correctly, the most recent classification places  
Lyctidae as a subfamily (Lyctinae) of Bostrichidae.

Tom, in your accompanying paper I was wondering what small wasps collect the  
beetle frass.  Also, some small wasps can be parasitoids of wood boring  
beetles.

Tom,
Did you ever see any prey items that the wasps carry?  Maybe these are
some species of sphecid wasp?
Lou



 Lou -

 The wasps I've observed kick out the frass and use it as a nesting site.
 When she's finished, she plugs the  hole with mud.  I've seen it with
 small, round holes on the exterior of log cabins as well as Old House
 Borer oval flight holes.  There are a variety of wasps involved.  I've
 watched the females in certain situations, but have never collected any.

Lou -

I've never seen a wasp with a prey item.  As old as I am, my eyesight might not 
be what it should be.  Mostly, I've seen them kicking out the frass and then 
cementing the hole shut with mud.  You'll also see mud-filled, sealed holes 
with a small round hole in the mud; meaning the critter has emerged.
